Specifications Sheet
The ILVE Wine Cellars are the newest addition to the
impressive ILVE collection. Allowing you to store wine in an
optimum humidity and temperature controlled environment,
boasting an impressive array of features with the sleek look
that is signature of ILVE appliances.
It has been established that wine should be stored in a dark
area, in a temperature of approximate 12°C – 16°C and with
a humidity level of around 70% to ensure the cork doesn’t
dry out and the wine doesn’t spoil.
These conditions can be difcult to nd naturally in the
home, so the ILVE Wine Cellars are a great option for
the long-term storage of wine, as the humidity and single
temperature control feature that keeps wine stored between
12°C and 16°C ensures that wine quality is maintained as it
matures.
Key features include an internal white LED light and
electronic control panel, as well as wooden shelves that can
easily house your ‘ready to drink’ or matured wine.
The Five Essential Rules of Wine Storage
ILVE wine cellars ensure your wines are stored in the ideal cellaring
conditions by respecting these 5 wine storage rules;
1. Stable Temperature between 12°C - 14°C
Daily and weekly temperature uctuations denature your wines. In
particular, temperatures above 25°C will ruin wine within a couple of weeks
and create ‘spoiled fruit’ avours.
2. Humidity Above 50%
Levels lower than this cause corks to dry out and shrink, allowing damaging
air into the wine, creating oxidation and o-odours.
3. Dark Storage area
All light should be avioded, but the UV light in particular: it creates hydrogen
sulphide compounds in wine and aects the tannins and the colour of your
wine.
4. No Vibrations
Imperceptible vinrations prematurely deteriorate wine by speeding up
chemical reactions and ageing.
5. Airow
Lack of appropriate ventilation and air change makes wine cellars become
stale and mouldy.
